Chapter 278 The eldest prince returns to the court
"Yun Ya!"
Yan Mu reached out his hand to the girl dear to his heart, tears flashing in his eyes.
Yun Ya put her hand in his palm, stepped on the stirrup, and threw herself into Yan Mu's arms.
It was not until Xiangyu was in his arms that Yan Mu realized that this was not a dream.
Yun Ya emerged from his arms and shouted to the black horse she had raised since childhood, "Take the snow, go home!"
Taxue refused to obey her and continued to chase the army for a long time. It did not stop until it was about to run out of the grassland, staring stupidly at its master who was leaving.
Yan Mu lowered his eyes and looked at her, with an emotion in his eyes that she couldn't understand, "Why are you here?"
"My Ana said that girls from the Northwest should be bold in love and hate. Since I like you, I must take responsibility for my impulsiveness." Yun Ya felt the strong wind whistling past her ears and laughed carefreely. "My Abu also said that you are my destined match. He advised me to pursue you. My brother is supporting them both."
"If you can't leave Daqi, I'll go with you."
Yan Mu looked at her profile, his heart beating uncontrollably, and murmured, "I owe you, I'm afraid I'll never be able to repay you in this lifetime."
The wind was so loud that Yun Ya couldn't hear him clearly. Her heart and eyes were filled with longing for a new life in the future. Her voice was also carried by the wind, "Yan Mu, marry me."
Yan Mu hugged her slender waist tightly and made up his mind, "From now on, I will never let go."
The clouds in the sky were blown into a ball by the wind. Yun Ya was curious and pointed at the white cloud. "Yan Mu, look, the shape of that cloud is like a fairy. Could it be that your mother came to see you?"
Yan Mu looked in the direction of her fingertips, and a slight smile appeared on his lips, "Maybe."
Perhaps his mother heard his drunken nonsense yesterday and couldn't bear it, so she came to the human world to take another look at him.

Inside the carriage, Su Cheng stuffed a soft pillow behind her and asked with a smile, "To be honest, I admire your courage."
Yun Ya chuckled softly and spoke slowly, "It's not easy to meet someone who truly loves and cares for you. After experiencing Somon, I want to hold on to Yan Mu even more."
"Where did your father get that Gu worm?" Su Cheng asked quietly, quite interested. "Are you and your daughter the only ones who can raise this Gu worm?"
"It's a long story about this Gu worm." Yun Ya spoke vaguely, holding a fruit in her mouth. "Many years ago, my Abu was traveling in Daqi. He slipped and fell off a cliff and was swept away by the lake. Fortunately, a young couple rescued him. My Abu once said that the young couple had great medical skills and lived in seclusion in a mountain village with their young son."
"After my Abu recovered from his serious injuries and left the village, the young man gave him dozens of poisonous insects and told him to feed them with blood from his fingertips every day. He could use them to protect himself when necessary."
Yun Ya swallowed the fruit in her mouth and tried to recall the past. "I don't know the gentleman's name. My Abu has always called him Dr. Sui. They still exchange letters to this day. Unfortunately, Daqi is too far to the northwest, and it would take a long time for the Saker Falcon to fly there."
Su Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, "The man who saved your father was surnamed Sui?"
Yun Ya nodded, looking at her with a hint of inquiry in her eyes, "Why, do you know Dr. Sui?"
"I don't know him, and I've never heard of this miracle doctor in Daqi." Su Cheng shook his head, suppressing his confusion and asked in a low voice, "After so many years, your father still keeps in touch with that miracle doctor through letters. It shows that their affection is extraordinary."
"Of course. Divine Doctor Sui and his wife are my Abu's favorite people from Daqi." Yun Ya nodded repeatedly, smiling carefreely. "My Abu also knew that Divine Doctor Sui was going to the capital, so he asked me to bring this letter to him when I get back."
"Dr. Sui went to the capital?" A dark glint flashed in Su Cheng's eyes as he continued to ask, "Do you know where he's staying? If possible, could you take me to see him?"
Yun Ya's eyes widened instantly, the concern on her face not seeming fake, "You want to see a miracle doctor, are you sick?"
Su Cheng propped up his chin with one hand, his eyes curved into crescents. "I'm fine, but I'm quite interested in poison. If possible, I'd like to become your disciple."
"Dr. Sui and my Abu are about the same age. I don't know if he'll accept disciples, but I'll take you there so you can ask him." Yun Ya pondered for a moment, then suddenly smiled. "Before I left, I heard Abu muttering that Dr. Sui seemed to live in some... some alley..."
"Tinggu Lane?"
"Right!" Yun Ya's eyes lit up and she asked hurriedly, "Miss Zhao, you're amazing! You can even guess that!"
Su Cheng nodded slightly, and the smile on his lips became more meaningful.
This is really the case of searching for something everywhere but finding it without any effort.
The couple actually moved into Tinggu Lane.
It’s like pie in the sky!

It was already autumn when the large army arrived at the city gates of the capital.
"I'm finally back." Yan Ci twisted his aching neck and pounded his long-numbed waist. "I never expected that the way back would be even longer than the way there. It took me two full months."
"It's always hard to manage a large group of people." Yan Mu smiled gently and said comfortingly, "Finally, we got back before the weather got colder. If we were any later, the clothes we brought wouldn't be able to withstand the wind."
"Your Majesty, I, Zhang Pu, respectfully welcome the Emperor back to the capital." Zhang Ge Lao had received the news long before and was so excited he hadn't slept all night. He had piled up unreviewed memorials into a small mountain, just waiting for the Emperor to return. Now he was waiting at the city gates, grinning so hard he couldn't even see his eyes. "Your Majesty, the memorials are ready, just waiting for you."
Hearing this, the emperor's smile suddenly fell. He glared at him fiercely and whispered in his ear, "Don't force me to beat you when I'm happiest."
Zhang Pu paused and shut up honestly.
"Your Majesty, I, an old minister, have also come to pick you up." Old Master Gu had a faint smile on his face. Although he said he was here to pick up the emperor, his eyes never left his grandson.
The emperor dismounted and quickly walked up to Old Master Gu, squinting his eyes and smiling, "Grand Master Gu, why did you come all the way here again?"
Grand Tutor Gu took two steps forward and lowered his voice deliberately, "Your Majesty, the eldest prince has returned to the court and brought back a girl. He is very popular in the capital."
The old man emphasized the last few words.
The emperor's smile froze for a moment, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. "I will go back and see what is going on."
"Father, the unfilial son is here to welcome you."
Before anyone could react, a man's smiling voice came from under the city gate.
Yan Ci looked in the direction of the voice and saw a man sitting upright on his horse, walking towards him from afar with a haughty smile on his face. A girl was following him, and the two of them only had one follower with them.
As if noticing his gaze, the man looked over. When their eyes met, Yan Ci saw the smile on his lips gradually deepen.
"Second brother, long time no see, hope you are well."
